The Fab Five: Basketball Trash Talk the American Dream

Mitch Albom does it again! A fantastic insight into the group that changed basketball to what it is today (for good or bad according to some). I have been waiting to read this for nearly 20 years since it came out, and finally got the chance and bought it. No disappointment, and reading this much later, it was a wonderful stroll down memory lane. Mitch paints a picture that allows you to visualize all the details. You always watched them and either loved or hated their brash attitudes, but you cannot deny their impact. Now know what went on behind the scenes. Thanks Mitch, keep up the good work.

As a man who went to college during the fab five era, it was a cool read, and walk down memory lane of a time when I couldn't trade in my basketball short shorts, for a pair of the fab five long baggy shorts fast enough, these 5 kids really did touch and change the worlds of so many people!!! This is a well written book that really engulfs the reader, highly recommended! Especially if you are a Michigan fan!

It looks great and will is going to make for a great gift, thanks again and have a great day

The product was in good condition and it is a great book!!

Any fan of college hoops will love this book. Written in the same era as the "Hoop Dreams" movie, Albom tells the great story of the inside of college basketball's business. These guys changed the world and influenced fashion, music, TV. I just wish one of them had starred for the Pistons during their short success.

Good review of college basketball recruiting, the University of Michigan, and the black player perspective....very informative.

I love the fab five also I hate duke i hate mic H st.and Ohio state I love this book

I love the book, which reminds me of when I was little watching the Fab Five play. When read right before and after watching the documentary, it makes it even better. The thing that irks me is the tone of the old, white sportswriter (I know, Albom is more than a sportswriter now) portraying inner-city life and in-game trash talk. It makes me cringe and there isn't a page that goes by without that feeling. It made this book very hard to finish, but it's worth powering through.
